Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag Doritos (Nacho Cheese is a classic!) Classic Nacho Cheese flavor is recommended.
- 1 cup Cheese (cheddar or a blend) Using a blend of cheeses enhances flavor.
- 1 cup Flour (all-purpose is best) For dredging the Doritos.
- 2 large Eggs (beaten) To help with coating.
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (panko works great) Panko breadcrumbs provide extra crunch.
- 2 cups Oil for frying (vegetable or canola) Oil should be preheated to 350°F.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your frying oil in a deep pan to around 350°F.
- Stuff each Dorito with cheese generously.
- Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each stuffed Dorito in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Carefully place each coated Dorito into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Notes
These can be prepped ahead and frozen for later. Serve with dips like ranch or salsa for added flavor. Kids can help with stuffing and customizing flavors!
